Key points

  • 4 lengths: 100 to 200 cm for all opening widths
  • Douglas fir or Fir: superior natural durability of Douglas fir outdoors
  • 91x21 mm cross-section: compatible with the entire Woodup fence and gate range
  • Sold individually: precise calculation based on the number of rails required
  • Cut to exact length: solid wood easily machined on site

Installation advice

For a standard fence, position one rail 10–15 cm from the bottom and one 10–15 cm from the top. For heights> 80 cm, add an intermediate rail. Fix the boards to the rails with stainless steel screws 4x40 mm with pre-drilled holes. Make sure the rails are level before fixing the boards. On gates, also fit a diagonal brace to prevent warping under the weight of the leaf.

Maintenance and protection

Treat the rail before installation with an exterior woodstain or oil. Reapply every 2 to 3 years. Douglas fir weathers to a natural grey and remains stable without treatment. Fir requires regular maintenance to prevent accelerated decay in damp areas. Inspect the contact areas with posts or boards annually.

WoodUp tip

Good to know before purchasing: this rail is compatible with all 91x21 mm fence and gate boards in the WoodUp range (IDs 596, 597, 598, 1211, 1213). Make sure your boards share this cross-section before combining references. Treatment required before prolonged outdoor use, particularly on cut ends if you trim the rail to an intermediate length.

Frequently asked questions

How many rails are needed for a gate that is 120 cm high?

Minimum two rails: one at the bottom at 10 cm and one at the top at 110 cm. For added rigidity, add a third rail at mid-height (60 cm) and a diagonal brace.

Can the 200 cm rail be used for a 200 cm wide gate?

Yes, the 200 cm rail corresponds exactly to this width. For a gate, plan for 3 rails per leaf over the height to ensure the rigidity of the whole structure.

Can the rail be cut to an intermediate length?

Yes. Solid wood is easily cut with a circular saw or mitre saw. Immediately treat the fresh cut with an end-grain sealer to protect the exposed section.

What is the difference in durability between Douglas fir and Fir for this rail?

Douglas fir has a natural durability class 3 for outdoor use without ground contact, allowing it to hold up without treatment for several years. Fir (class 3-4) is more susceptible to fungi and requires regular treatment in damp environments.

Is this rail compatible with Woodup fence and wicket gate kits?

Yes. It is sized to fit all kits in the Woodup fence and gate range using the 91x21 mm cross-section.
